[parisc-linux] tulip driver

[Sonny Cook]

I'm still suspicious.  If I boot with init=/bin/sh, then it boots to the 
shell.  When I do an insmod on the tulip module, then the kernel crashes 
and spits out the (I think its the stack) debugging info.  At any rate, 
I'll give the latest kernel a try and see what happens.
Thanks,
Sonny
